Embodiment
Below, use description of drawings example of the present invention.
Below, as an example, the maximum transmitted bit number that each symbol is described is 6 bits, use the adaptive modulation system of 64QAM or 16QAM or QPSK as modulation system, and of the present invention being suitable for is not limited to these maximum transmitted bit number and modulation systems, more generally be taken as the 2m bit, as modulation system, with 2 at maximum transmitted bit number each symbol
2kCan be suitable for too under the situation of QAM (k is the natural number smaller or equal to m) demodulation.In addition, above-mentioned in, establish the 4QAM suitable and represent the modulation system identical with QPSK with k=1.And then, can be suitable for modulation system of the present invention and be more typically under per 1 symbol that can carry out modulation symbol modulation system more than or equal to the such communication of 2 bits, separating timing, have under the state of undetermined bit, it can be the modulation system that to determine 1 bit at least, remove beyond the illustrative modulation system, when for example the maximum transmitted bit number being taken as the m bit for 2
kPSK (k is the natural number smaller or equal to m), when perhaps being taken as the m bit as the maximum transmitted bit number for 2
kThe such modulation system of ASK (k is the natural number smaller or equal to m) also can be suitable for.
In addition, in many-valued modulation, the information of many bits when signaling point mates, according to the method for modulation system and coupling, each bit may produce difference aspect the error rate.In the following description, produce like this in the error rate under the situation of difference, the error rate is reduced the upper bit that the bit that mates like that calls many-valued modulation, the bit that error rate rising is mated like that calls the next bit.In addition, about the identical bit of the error rate, it is called upper bit or the next bit is all unimportant.
In addition, in the following description, for simply, the situation that is suitable for self-adaptive modulation method of the present invention and coding rate control method for the signal that sends to the 2nd air station from the 1st air station is described, and above-mentioned the 1st air station called sending station, above-mentioned the 2nd air station is called receiving platform.On the other hand, self-adaptive modulation method of the present invention and coding rate control method are for sending from the signal of the 1st air station to the 2nd air station, and send and to be suitable for to the signal of the 1st air station from the 2nd air station, in this case, the 1st and the 2nd air station is distinguished the sending station of following explanation and the signal processing in the receiving platform.In addition, in the communication of cellular communication or WLAN, any that also can make base station, accessing points, terminal installation moved as sending station or receiving platform.
In addition, as the propagation channel quality in the following explanation, for example received signal power intensity or interference power intensity, signal to noise ratio etc., so long as the error rate or communication quality when signal is communicated, the mutual traffic of sending station and receiving platform etc. just has or the value of negative correlation just can be used parameter arbitrarily.That is, so-called propagation channel quality height shows as the received signal power height, and perhaps interference power intensity is low, perhaps signal to noise ratio height, and the perhaps little state that waits of the change of received signal power, the propagation channel quality is low then represents the state that it is opposite.
In addition, in the following description, the signal that uses is called pilot signal in the inferring of propagation channel quality.So-called pilot signal is the certain signal of signal amplitude when sending and phase place or has the fixedly signal of figure, this signal be used for according to and the signal after receiving platform has received the signal that sends between difference infer the signal amplitude in the propagation channel or the change of phase place.For this purpose, not only can utilize the indivedual pilot signals in the each communication between sending station and the receiving platform, and for example can utilize, the common pilot signal that in cellular communication, sends from the base station, perhaps preface in packet communication etc. etc. describes and the signal that following handle can utilize in this purpose calls pilot signal.
Below, adaptive modulation system of the present invention and encoding rate control mode are described with reference to the accompanying drawings.In addition, among the present invention, the code word that generates of encoding by channel code is cut apart, cut apart unit by each and send to receiving platform, call subframe and in the following description this is cut apart unit from sending station.In addition, in the accompanying drawings and in the following description, in sending station, the bit number that is distributed in each subframe of cutting apart the code word generation is called Nc, in sending station, the bit number that uses in the actual modulated of each subframe is called Nt, in receiving platform, the bit number that obtains from demodulation result is called Nr in each subframe.For example, if be the modulation symbol number scale of each subframe M, fix as system, perhaps before the communication of data, the maximum transmitted bit number of each symbol that is predetermined in sending station and receiving platform is taken as 6, and then Nc becomes 6 long-pending with M.In addition, if the modulation system of all symbols in the subframe in the sending station is all adopted 64QAM, then the value of Nt is amassing as 6 and M of the bit number that each symbol can transmit in 64QAM.In addition, same, about all symbols in the subframe in the receiving platform, if use the 16QAM demodulation, then the value of Nr be as each symbol can transmit in 16QAM bit number 4 with the amassing of M.
The relation of these each bit numbers and coupling is described according to Fig. 9.As an example, be taken as under 4 the situation the modulation symbol of each subframe being counted M, cut apart code word, in each subframe, distribute 6 * 4=24 bit.Among Fig. 9, the 401st, represent the ideograph of this situation, the numeral in the frame means the bit number of the beginning number in the subframe.
Among the figure, the 402nd, the situation when using 64QAM to modulate in each symbol in subframe uses in order by each symbol and modulates with 6 bit bases as the transmitted bit number of each symbol of 64QAM being assigned to 24 bits in the subframe.Here, the more little Bit Allocation in Discrete of symbol in the upper more bit of the modulation symbol of 64QAM.
Among the figure, the 403rd, the situation when using 16QAM to modulate in each symbol in subframe, being assigned to 24 bits in the subframe with after cutting apart as 6 bit bases of the maximum transmitted bit number of each symbol, respectively cutting apart in the unit, cut apart with 4 bit bases that number is little, finish the modulation of 16QAM.Here, 2 bits for not being assigned with do not use in transmission, and discarded here.In addition, in each 4 bit in being assigned to modulation, the more little Bit Allocation in Discrete of symbol in the upper more bit of the modulation symbol of 16QAM.
Among the figure, the 404th, the situation when each symbol in subframe uses QPSK to modulate, being assigned to 24 bits in the subframe with after cutting apart as 6 bit bases of the maximum transmitted bit number of each symbol, cut apart in the unit at each, cut apart with 2 bit bases that number is little, finish the QPSK modulation.Each 2 bit about here not distributing do not use in transmission, and are discarded here.
About the bit that goes out of use in 403 among the figure and 404, after demodulation in receiving platform, use the signal of likelihood 0, identical situation when becoming with contraction (puncture) becomes characteristic identical when having changed with the encoding rate that makes channel code.
In above figure 402,403,404, even under the situation of any different modulation system of the bit number that uses each symbol, also make symbol become identical position all the time with the division of symbol, for example, with the 7th to the 12nd bit of the symbol coupling of 402 the 2nd 64QAM among the figure in the drawings under any situation of 403,404, all with the 2nd symbol coupling or do not use some in the both of these case, not and the coupling of the symbol beyond the 2nd.By doing like this,, also can not be created in generation deviation in the arrangement of bit and the continuous mistake that causes even under sending modulation system that a side selects and receiving the side situation that selected modulation system is different for demodulation.
In addition, the bit number of each symbol many 402 in, be assigned to the little bit of number in the upper bit the bit number of each symbol few 403 or 404 in use.Thus, for example, modulate with 64QAM as 402 in transmission one side, receive a side as 403 usefulness 16QAM demodulation situation under, though when sending, only in the transmitted power of the distribution portion of the next bit, produce waste, but receiving a side, can take out the information of the bit number part that obtains according to selected mode demodulation without a doubt.And then, because the modulation system of sending station and the difference of the modulation system that receiving platform is separated timing can not brought very big deterioration, therefore can improve the degree of freedom for the control of modulation system.
Like this, do not rely on the not division of change sign under the situation of transmitted bit number of each symbol of employed modulation system, and when the big modulation of the transmitted bit number that utilizes each symbol the transmitted bit number of each symbol for the modulation system of minimum in modulation employed Bit Allocation in Discrete to upper bit, thereby can realize according to the change of propagation channel and can switch the Adaptive Modulation of modulation system at sending station and receiving platform respectively.
In addition, in the following description, so-called encoding process, remove beyond the mapping of for example having used the such code of convolution code or Turbo code, LDPC sign indicating number handles, also expression for example comprises the processing of adjustment processing based on the code length that adds the such inspection error code information of CRC or parity bit, contraction (puncture) or retransmit, interleaving treatment etc., and so-called codeword table is shown in the bit sequence that obtains after these are handled.Equally, so-called decoding processing, be illustrated in the receiving platform, code word that obtains from decoded result and the processing that is used for restoring from the likelihood information of each bit of code word the information bit before the coding comprise processings that deinterleave, shrink (puncture) or retransmit recovery that the adjustment of such code length handles, used the error code judgement of examining error code information etc.
In addition, in following ideograph and explanation, illustrate that be the situation that 6 subframes send, and cut apart number not necessarily 6, also can be divided into natural number arbitrarily more than or equal to 2 to codeword division based on ideograph.
Fig. 1 is the ideograph of the signal processing flow among the present invention the 1st embodiment.As the 1st embodiment, the bit number Nt of each symbol when fixed modulation is described makes the bit number of each symbol of separating timing variable, judges the example of whether decoding and whether finishing the transmission of code word in receiver.In the adaptive modulation system and encoding rate control mode of the present invention the 1st embodiment, in sending station 100, at first use channel code the digital coding that sends, generated codeword 101 is divided into the subframe with the Nc bit base.
The maximum transmitted bit number Nc of each symbol in the modulation system is set at fixing value in overall system, can have between sending station and receiving platform.In addition, can also play as the intrinsic information of base station (sending station or receiving platform), when switching or position login, terminal (receiving platform or sending station) receives and preserves.In addition, when connection processing, in the control signal of institute's access, also can comprise the maximum transmitted bit number Nc of each symbol in the modulation system.
In addition, needed reception bit number Ns during the decision decoding makes that receiving platform can be with the code word 101 that desirable probabilistic decoding was generated.Value as Ns, the relation of communication characteristic such as the power of each bit during quality fluctuations of propagation channel and error rate never for example, selection is obtained by remove the preceding information bit of coding with selected encoding rate in order to satisfy the needed encoding rate of desirable communication characteristic.As an example, at code the information of 100 bits is encoded with encoding rate 1/3, when becoming Nc=300, by with 1/2 200 values as Ns except that original information bit 100, even under the situation of propagation channel quality fluctuations, also can access and the situation characteristic much at one of when the propagation channel quality does not change, having used the code of encoding rate 1/2.
In the drawings in the timing of 102 transmission the 1st subframe, sending station is used according to employed modulation system and definite Nt bit generates modulation symbol in the information of the Nc bit of distributing to subframe, sends to receiving platform.In receiving platform, in 112 the timing, receive the 1st subframe in the drawings, according to selected modulation system demodulation, obtain the demodulation result of Nr bit according to the propagation channel quality of being measured.In receiving platform, from the accumulated value of the Nr that begins to receive this code word with compare as the definite Ns of necessary bit number decoding, result relatively is because the accumulated value of Nr is littler than Ns, therefore for sending station, the notice expression does not receive the Nack signal in order not have with the needed bit number of desirable probabilistic decoding, reception to finish.Sending station receives the notice of Nack, send once more with identical in 102 timing in 103 the timing in the drawings, receiving platform in the drawings in 113 the timing also with identical in 112 timing, the processing that receives repeatedly becomes more than or equal to Ns up to the accumulated value of Nr.
When the accumulated value of the Nr in receiving platform becomes more than or equal to Ns and when being through with reception for all subframes of having cut apart code word, receiving platform sends expression for sending station and receives the Ack signal that finishes, gather demodulation hereto signal carry out decoding processing.When carrying out decoding processing, when the bit number that obtains from demodulation result does not satisfy code word size, decode behind the signal of interpolation likelihood 0.In addition, sending station is in the moment that has received the Ack signal, send and the corresponding code word of this Ack signal by stopping, can carrying out the control with the corresponding Adaptive Modulation of propagation channel quality, and that in fact can transmit and the control corresponding encoding rate of modulation system.
